«El siglo de los sueños» is the novel by Peter Høeg, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (427 pages, in Spanish).
Four Danish families intertwine over a century: a count builds a wall and stops all clocks; an old lady presides over a newspaper empire without knowing how to read or write and predicts the future; puppeteers, heirs and disinherited compose a tableau of convulsions, miseries and hopes of the 20th century.
The original title, «Forestilling om det tyvende århundrede», dates from 1988; the translation is by Ana Sofía Pascual Pape. Peter Høeg received the Weekendavisens litteraturpris award.
For readers of European fiction and magical realism who enjoy family sagas with a historical backdrop.
Peter Høeg is a Danish writer of fiction. He is best known for his novel Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow (1992).
